Assessment of Correlations between Laboratory and Full Scale Experiments for the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Aircraft Fire Safety Program. Part 3: ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) E 84

摘要

A comparison is presented between the room fire performance in four different full scale fire test series and the flame spread classification obtained by the ASTM E 84 tunnel test for a wide range of materials. A good correlation is obtained only for conventional interior finish materials. A flame spread hypothesis is presented to account for the stopping of the flame in the tunnel and the difference in the fire performance of materials in the tunnel test and in the room fire test.
